As
they entered the hall everyone's gaze turned towards The talk of the town Maan
Khurana and the one's accompanying him. They all were surprised and perplexed
at the same time, they couldn't fathom who the other two people were.

Maan
had always kept his personal life and his professional life separate, no body
knew anything about him he was an enigma and so an attractive figure. Though they
knew about his marriage and now his widowhood but then too because of his secretive
life and of his attractive looks and handsome bank balance the girls were madly
in love with him and wanted to capture him.

Mrs.
Khurana had a lot many times tried to have him engaged the second time acting phony
about Geetanjali's life and childhood and a future without a mother and about his
happiness and lastly about her age but couldn't make him agree on this point. Savitri
Devi had given up.

Girls
as usual were eyeing him or u can say practically ogling, it looked disgusting
to Geet how ever she managed to smile looking at the desperate girls. Maan
caught her gaze, he moved back beside her and asked in hushed tone, "what?"
confusingly.

"Ohh!
Nothing. Was just surprised to see your effect on girls is same as 10yrs ago." She
smiled seeing him blush and watched him as he shirked towards the other side of
the hall towards his business associates.

She
then looked around for Geetanjali, and noticed her looking at the people and
other things. She was completely enjoying her outing but was actually missing
her father's company. Geet came near her and said in a hushed voice in her ear,
"hey". And smiled to her. Geetanjali looked at her and smiled back.

Geet
took Geetanjali by hand and slowly walked towards the center of the hall where
she last saw Maan talking to the associates. She looked all around but couldn't
get even a glimpse of him. The center crowded as the music out of blue began. It
was so sudden that Geetanjali got scared and stared panting heavily. Geet too
got scared seeing Geetanjali in that state. She somehow managed to bring her out
side on the garden but she couldn't talk. Geet became nervous and immediately
called Maan.

****

(At
the hospital)

Maan
Geet were standing out side the cabin while the Dr was checking Geetanjali.
Maan was not Maan, he was furious, and feeling incompetence filed his heart. He
was one of the richest men but couldn't do anything for her daughter suffering
from asthma. While Geet was filled with the feeling of guilt.

Maan
didn't say a word to Geet. He didn't said anything thing to anyone but when
suddenly the door opened and Dr Natasha came out he broke his silence, " is she
okay doctor?" the fright was visible in his tone, it was badly trembling.

i"Don't worry Mr. Khurana, She is okay now, she needs compete rest. You can take her home but be particular with her medication. Maan sighed in relief and took
Geetanjali in his arms and moved towards the car.

Geet
took Geetanjali in her arms and sat in back seat of the car so that Geetanjali could
lay in her lap comfortably.

They
reached home.

Maan
took Geetanjali in his arms and went straight to his room, he carefully laid
her down and tucked the blanket. He then loosened his tie and turned around,
and infront of him he saw Geet standing there with guilt ridden expression and
tears wetting her cheeks.

"I
am '" she couldn't complete when suddenly he took hold of her arms and pulled
her to the balcony.

"shhh'
she is sleeping" Maan said in normal tone. He wiped the tears off her cheeks
softly, "sh..sh.. dnt cry.. nothing happened.. everything is okay.. " saying
this he patted her back.

But
Geet was bit too frightened by the event. She slowly put her head on his
shoulder as tears made their way down her cheeks and her hands went up and encircled
him in the hug. It was mere a consoling hug for both. They stood there for
sometime just like old days when there were no such thoughts but only pure
friendship.

"You
didn't know about her.. its okay.. don't cry Geet." Maan said.

"no
Maan its all my fault" she said straightening her self.

"I
never wanted to go away." She said out of blue. She immediately realized what
she said. She didn't know what made her say so. She tore away from him and
started leaving the room in hurry.

"Then
why you left me?" Maan asked looking at her back.

They
stood there in silent. Maan was waiting for an answer but Geet was in dilemma.
How can she just tell him'?

"It
was past. I don't want to think about anything thing which gives pain." Geet
said looking down.

"Geet
do you even know what I went through when I came to know that you have left. I
didn't know where to find you. You changed your phone number. I didn't even had
your address. And you are telling me after nine years you don't want to talk
about it because it gives you pain! And what about my pain Geet' what was my
fault? I am asking this question from my self from past 9 years." He said
looking at her with lots of emotions playing in his eyes. But Geet could only
notice the pain.

"Maan'
there is nothing to say. It was my childishness." Geet said avoiding the
piercing gaze.

"Childishness???"
Maan repeated in disbelief." It was your childishness to run away from me? Was
it so?" he asked in anger.

Geet
jumped back in fear. She had never seen Maan in so much of anger.

"Maan'.."
she exclaimed.

"Enough
Geet'. If you don't want to tell me its okay. After all whom am I to ask you
anything?" he said as he walked back towards the balcony.

"Yes
you are right' who are you to ask me anything. And why should I even tell
you'?" she said getting equally angry. She did all this for him and now he is
blaming her. And turned her back towards him.

Maan
stopped in tracks. What did she just say? He turned towards her and looked at
her in disbelief for a moment.

"What
makes you think that I have no right to ask anything from you?" he asked in
DANGEROUSLY cold voice as he marched towards her taking big steps.

She
turned towards him and looked at him with a shocked face. She took few steps
back as she saw him approaching towards her. Her heart beat rose as it always
did in his presence.

"Maan'
what are you''" she couldn't complete when he came close to her and stood just
few inches away from her.

She
gulped saliva in fear. She couldn't fathom what was going on in his mind. He
was always unpredictable with it.

She
moved back again and then suddenly was brought back towards him with a force.
